Homeless man ‘terrorized’ communities in 2 states after allegedly killing 3 family members during crime spree

A Fallsington, Pennsylvania homeless man who allegedly killed three people in his home state before fleeing across state lines into New Jersey now faces serious charges, including murder and gun-related crimes, in both states. Andre Gordon Jr., 26, is accused of shooting and killing his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, and 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon, inside a Falls Township home on Saturday morning.

The vehicle Gordon stole was a 2016 dark gray Honda CRV with a Pennsylvania license plate, which was located at about 11:40 a.m., unoccupied, on Miller Street in Trenton, New Jersey, police said. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said in a press release that Gordon allegedly carjacked a vehicle in Trenton before going to Falls Township and committing the shootings.

The string of violent acts that took place yesterday, allegedly at the hands of a single armed individual, alarmed and terrorized communities in Bucks and Mercer counties,' Platkin said. 'It is the latest in a horrific litany of illustrations of how illegal guns and assault rifles can empower one aggrieved and disturbed actor to do immense damage and leave a trail of tragedies in their wake.

Yesterday’s events are a profound tragedy and a shock that instilled fear in many residents in two states,' J. Stephen Ferketic, director of the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice said. 'Thankfully, they ended with the apprehension of the suspect without further gunfire. We will work closely with our partners in Bucks County to ensure that the defendant answers for his alleged crimes in both Trenton and Falls Township.
